Guitar refurbs
Discussion
Yesterday, I rescued a satellite Les paul copy, and a right handed Fender Music master Bass, which I've swapped the strings around (I'm a lefty).
Both have been in my dad's house since I moved out 12 years ago, and are in need of much TLC. The Fender is a genuine 1979 issue (checked the serial No. and the Satellite must be a good 20 years old.
Now, both need new hardware, and to be honest, the fender needs a complete respray as the lacquer is nackered.
If I wanted to replace bit's n bobs, how hard would it be, and how easy would it be to respray the fender?
Any sensible advice welcome, thanks.

Regarding the hardware, knobs and switches are fairly easy to change yourself - depending how far you need to go. If your getting into changing the nut, bridge and tuners this is a bigger job needing professional work. Try the Hampton Guitar Centre or Chandlers in Kew - the guitar will need precision setting up.
Resprays - not cheap! Depends on the finish and laquer. Strats and Les pauls often have differet laquers...
Hope that helps.
